Cozumel, Mexico

We booked a private beach day at Nachi Cocom. It was a wonderful day to relax- the food was wonderful- but drinks were a bit weak. We took a snorkeling tour for $38pp- and Loved it!

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

We had climbed Dunn's River Falls years ago- so this time we went to Blu Hole with Peat Taylor tours- excellent! You need to be in reasonable shape for this- and have a bit of an adventurous spirit.

George Town, Grand Cayman

we went on a Sting Ray City, Snorkeling Catamaran tour... the surf was ROUGH! honestly- we had no business snorkeling that day. I am a seasoned swimmer and snorkeler and felt bad for the folks who have never snorkeled before. The ship can't help the weather- but I was bummed because I was looking forward to snorkeling in the Caymans. Tendering back to the boat was excruciating! the line was SO long! and in full sun. We went across the street to the bar and grill and watched and waited as the line went down.

Miami, Florida

If you have time- fly in a day early and stay in South Beach.

Carnival Horizon

Take advantage of the Aft facing pool. We headed back there upon embarkation and were one of only about 15 people there for hours. We swam- used the hot tub. ate pizza, and just lounged. The area also provided excellent photo opts of the Miami Skyline.

Nassau, Bahamas

We took a private tour with Big Mama- she was wonderful- but honesty there just isn't much to the town. If I had it to do over again I woudl have taken a snorkeling excursion.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

I have been to beaches all around the Caribbean and this was one of the best beaches EVER! We had a cabana and I would not hesitate to book one again.
